The study demonstrates highly coherent emission of visible light lasers, providing important tools and technological support for research in atomic, molecular, and optical physics.
Narrow linewidth visible light lasers are critical for atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics including atomic clocks, quantum computing, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, and sensing. Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is a promising approach to realize highly coherent on-chip visible light laser emission. Here we report demonstration of a visible light photonic integrated Brillouin laser, with emission at 674nm, a 14.7mW optical threshold, corresponding to a threshold density of 4.92mW mu m(-2), and a 269Hz linewidth. Significant advances in visible light silicon nitride/silica all-waveguide resonators are achieved to overcome barriers to SBS in the visible, including 1dB/meter waveguide losses, 55.4 million quality factor (Q), and measurement of the 25.110GHz Stokes frequency shift and 290MHz gain bandwidth. This advancement in integrated ultra-narrow linewidth visible wavelength SBS lasers opens the door to compact quantum and atomic systems and implementation of increasingly complex AMO based physics and experiments.
